Now Ubisoft is ready to show some gameplay from the latest Assassin's Creed title, and I can confirm, based solely on the trailer, that this is indeed an Assassin's Creed title. It's a little more bombastic than previous trailers with a focus on all-out fights instead of stealth or assassinations, but it still looks like every other game in the series.

Assassin's Creed III was seen as a disappointment to some gamers. The next title will have to win back these gamers if it hopes to remain one of the best selling annual franchises.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag will launch later this year across all current and next-gen consoles, including the PS4, Wii U and whatever name Microsoft gives the next Xbox.
